Molecular phylogeny and morphology reveal three new plant pathogenic fungi species (Septobasidiales, Basidiomycota) from China.

ABSTRACT: Three new fungal species, Septobasidiummacrobasidium, S.puerense and S.wuliangshanense, are proposed based on a combination of the morphological features and molecular evidence. The taxon S.macrobasidium is characterized by the coriaceous basidiomata with a cream surface, cylindrical basidia, straight, 4-celled, subglobose or ovoid probasidia and thin-walled, narrowly cylindrical basidiospores with septa, measuring as 7-9 × 3.5-4.5 µm, the haustoria consisting of irregularly coiled hyphae; in addition, this fungus was found associated with the insect of Diaspididae. The species S.puerense is characterised by resupinate coriaceous basidiomata with a cinnamon brown to chestnut brown surface, cylindrical or slightly irregular basidia, 2-3-celled, slightly cu
